COMPANY
Founded in 1998, AK-Industries specializes in the design and manufacture of sensors for measuring physical quantities, and more specifically in linear and angular sensors.
With over 15 years of experience, increasingly ambitious challenges are constantly reached for the most exigent clients, thanks to a motivated and dynamic young team.
Our 1600m² production facility located in Thal Marmoutier, 30 km from Strasbourg, European capital, has its own research office and an ultra modern and accurate CNC machine unit, using a variety of CAD tools. AK Industries also provides services for mechanical contracting.
Our products are used in many areas, like in wood industry, automobile, nuclear, medical, research centres or specialized machinery.
AK Industries in respect of its customers, always devotes more energy to produce innovative, robust and accurate sensors.
OUR VALUES
ACCURACY
One of the main values of our society is the precision. Today, a company can no longer afford to leave room for doubt or unclarity and AK Industries has understood it.
That's why all of our sensors are linear up to 0.10% for potentiometric sensors and incremental mode and up to 0.01% for sensors in absolute mode.
QUALITY
All components of the sensors are manufactured by ourselves. From the production of parts to assembly, AK Industries provides all of the production process and can perform quality control at each step which ensures the customer a product without any defect.
FLEXIBILITY
An innovative and dynamic company, that's how one could describe the company AK Industries.
Because of its size and organization, AK Industries is a very flexible company. We use this advantage to meet your needs as quickly as possible.
EXPERTISE
Our technicians are experts. For 16 years they explore the world of the draw wire sensor and its applications in order to better advise you, serve you and answer your questions.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
Our salesmen are available and are close to their customers in a logical spot. They will be happy to develop a project with you, prevent your constraints in order to enter a win-win relationship.
PRODUCTS
DRAW-WIRE LINEAR DISPLACEMENT SENSORS
Draw wire measuring sensors can measure in analogue, incremental or absolute mode, the movement and the speed of a component from its origin.
Draw-wire linear sensors operate on the principle of the wire stretched between a mobile and a free element. They consist of the wire element, drum, spring motor and a bearing axis, which can convert linear displacement to angular movement. The unwinding process from the drum generates the electrical signal proportional to the displacement thanks to the potentiometer or encoder.

ANALOG ANGLE SENSORS AND ENCODERS
Analog angle sensors and optical encoders provide angular positioning and angular control. Depending on the version selected by the user, the sensor delivers according to the angle:
- an ohmic value or an analogue signal (0-10V or 4-20ma) by the angular sensors ;
- pulse signals or an absolute code pattern by the optical encoders.
INDUCTIVE LVDT SENSORS
LVDT displacement sensors (Linear Variable Differential Transformer) from AK Industries are specifically designed and manufactured for harsh industrial environments such as temperature, pressure, acceleration or high cycles.
With its careful and compact construction, the PPM12 series offers a high precision and accuracy of measurement.
The VR20 series adapts to harsh environments and can even be installed underwater.
PPM12 - METROLOGY SENSOR
VR20 - SENSOR FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
LINEAR POTENTIOMETERS
Linear Potentiometers are designed to withstand the harsh environment of Industrial and Motorsport applications. Using proven « conductive plastic » technology, the sensors offer high performance and reliability.
MS-13 RANGE UP TO 200 MM
MS-15 RANGE UP TO 300 MM
MS-19 RANGE UP TO 300MM
MS-94 RANGE UP TO 175 MM
TX - EDDY CURRENT SENSORS
Eddy Current sensors are robust, and can typically handle extreme environments. They can measure distances without contact, as well as vibrations, out-of-round irregularities, at very high frequencies, without being disturbed by oil, grease, or other non-conductive and non-metallic contamination.
Applications
Measurement of axial and radial play
Out-of-round, vibrations and high point Measurement
Deflection and deformation measurement
Alignment control between two shafts
Clearance and ball bearing wear measurement
Cavity Pressure Measurement
Teeth detection on wheels and sprockets
Camshaft point and camshaft profile measurement
Groove detection and measurement of the groove depth
Crack detection
Shape control
Measurement of the thickness of rust, paint or oxidation layer
